All Fired Up!

They're here...the Indigo Pokemon League. It is at the time of running the Moltres flame to the League. Ash, as a participant, is free to carry the flame...but when Team Rocket decide to steal it, the League may not go on...can Ash save the flame...or maybe a firey pal?

Yay, Victreebel's back! I'm surprised that this is one of the few episodes where it *doesn't* bite (or attempt to bite) James. In fact, it even obeyed him right off the bat by trying to help out Meowth. Wow, that was surprising. I also enjoy the part where Ash asks if Charlie Goodshow is Santa Claus. ROFLOL I wonder why Mr. Goodshow wasn't in the Orange League championship?

Very good episode, very enjoyable. Seeing Ash, Misty, & Brock carry the Flame of Moltres was nice, also enjoyed the Pokemon League being compared to the Olympics. As for TR stealing the flame at the end with their giant mech and trying to fry Ash, I think this might be the only episode in which TR actually tries to kill someone especially a main character, which is pretty amazing I didn't think they had it in them to do that.

First (and only, I believe) time where Ash expresses a wish to catch a legendary. A good episode actually, and Ash actually realised when TR were dressed up as the fake officials at the top of the stairs - makes a change.
If only approved competitors could carry the torch, how come Misty and Brock managed to do it too?

I remember seeing this episode back in the day, and going, "when did Ash become an Olympic torch runner?" XD; But it was still a cool way to kick off the Pokémon League ^_^ Of course, Gary taunting Ash was my favorite moment 8D

This episode really gained much interest on me when I saw it. I liked that Team Rocket wasn't smart enough to fight with Ash so they can get the Flame Torch. When they did get away with it, they burned themselves by lighting the torch up when it wasn't really lit up. But when they came back to steal another one, they showed some strength using their usual robots. Too bad it wasn't enough power as they were down by Moltres.
